The main documentation of the Get_Locus_Distributed_Vector Procedure contains additional explanation of this code listing.
function Get_Locus_Distributed_Vector (DV) result(Locus_DV)
! Input variable.
type(Distributed_Vector_type), intent(in) :: DV ! Variable to be queried.
! Output variable.
type(character,name_length) :: Locus_DV ! Locus of DV.
!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
! Verify requirements.
VERIFY(Valid_State(DV),5) ! DV is valid.
! Set the value.
Locus_DV = Locus(DV%Structure)
! Verify guarantees - none.
return
end function Get_Locus_Distributed_Vector
